Ratings and reviews

The latest update is terrible! The photos are NOT looking clean/sharp anymore, not even in a well illuminated environment. Please, fix it! It's really bad. Edit (12/26/23): Jesus Christ, please fix this app back to how it used to be. The Night Sight mode is horrible now, can't have clear photos, they all get super blurred. The high saturation of photos is only good for a sunny beach environment, other than that if you're not in a sunny place all the photos will be super blurred.

processing keeps getting worse. I regret so much getting a pixel because of this app... it was great at launch on my pixel 6, the first ever time I updated it and it became pure garbage that made me go to open camera instead of this.. I would love this if it worked properly. Stop changing the colors to whatever you think it should look like and just let me focus on what I want to focus. Seriously needs manual options with the update it got worse, now hair and eyes look straight up black

No longer has a "manual" or "advanced" option, so it's impossible to set (among other options) the right color temperature for lighting the app doesn't expect. Front-facing camera now also does some bizarre post-process warping with no option to turn it off, meaning what you see on screen may be entirely different from what gets saved.
